Shout out to Ms. Rozwadowski for introducing a new club to our stallions, Sketch Club! Sketch Club is a group of 4th and 5th grade students exploring art, trying new things, and having fun with friends. Taking time to draw or doodle can help us relax and focus. A sketchbook can become a personal collection of drawings and ideas. Last week the students learned how to build Zentangle patterns and use a magical blending tool!

Mrs. Vasil's 3rd grade class were detectives trying to solve math mysteries with their buddies. They did multiplication, 3 digit addition/subtraction and word problems as they tried to figure out "whodunit".

The students had so much fun trying to race the other teams to see who could solve the clues first!
